-
Princess Anne : She's furious now because father is going out. Mother tries to boss everything - well, she not going to boss me! I'm not her husband. I'm going to lead my own life!
Granton : And may I ask when do you intend to start?
Princess Anne : As soon as she's safely on her trip to America. One of these days, Mother will pick up a New York paper and discover her daughter has eloped. You *are* going to elope with me, aren't you, Freddy?
Granton : Oh yes, Anne. I wouldn't let you elope alone.

Princess Anne : But what were those explosions?
The King : Shells, my dear. The fact of the matter is, the revolutionaries stole General Northrup's artillery when he wasn't looking.
Princess Anne : And they're trying to shell the palace?
The King : It seems that way.
[Anne takes off her coat.]
The King : What are you doing?
Princess Anne : Do you think I'd go now?
The King : But, my dear, you must go. This is your one chance; you can't lose it.
Princess Anne : Too late, Father. I'm going to stay here because I love you. And because we must be together when they come.
Granton : Good for you, Anne.
The King : Well, there's nothing left for me except to burst into tears, I suppose.
